Christmas Eve

We sit beside the hearth, Just Evelyn and I Logs crackling in the grate Flames are burning bright Just the two of us Alone in the fire side glow Sitting in cosy comfort Warm from head to toe It was a year ago we met On a very different night When I first saw her face In the soft glow of candle light It was last Christmas Eve When I first saw her It was at midnight mass And she was singing in the choir She will be singing Carols Again this Christmas Eve We will have to stir ourselves It’s almost time to leave But before we leave the cosy scene I have something to ask But I’m a little bit scared As I set about my task This year has been so special With her sharing my life That I want Evelyn to marry me I want her to be my wife So as we sit beside the hearth, Just Evelyn and I Logs crackling in the grate Flames burning bright I pray that when I ask her I get the response I dare not believe And she will answered yes And be MY Christmas Eve
